The method is similar in principle to other methods of model analysis. Mechanical interferometry offers the advantages of speed and permanence of record over the other methods in present use. The idea seems to offer commercial possibilities.44 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1954.S967Influence linesInterferometersThe construction of influence lines with a mechanical interferometerThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-02162010-020422/
